The exhibit also illustrates the parallel between the artist's prints and her paintings, giving the viewer an idea of Frankenthaler's career as a whole and showing how her work in different media is inspired...
Another interesting aspect of the process is the relationship between the proof and the finished print. In some pairs, the two look alike except for one notable difference: for example, the colors in the proof of Yellow Span are reversed in the final print. The study for the most recent work, Freefall, is sculptural, built up with acrylic gel and paper pulp. The composition of the study and the final version is similar in almost every other aspect, yet the difference in texture renders each work unique...
